mainlining shenanigans
1fc12b0589
When we called regulator_enable() on a regulator we'd end up
propagating that call all the way up the chain every time. This is a
bit of a waste of time. A child regulator already refcounts its own
enables so it should avoid passing on to its parent unless the
refcount transitioned between 0 and 1.
Historically this hasn't been a huge problem since we skipped dealing
with enable for always-on regulators. In a previous patch, however,
we removed the always-on optimization. On one system, the debugfs
regulator_summary was now showing a "use_count" of 33 for a top-level
regulator.
Let's implement this optimization. This turns out to be fairly
trivial with the recent reorganization of the regulator core.
NOTE: as part of this patch I'll make "always-on" regulators start
with a use count of 1. This keeps the counts clean when recursively
resolving regulators.
ALSO NOTE: this commit also contains somewhat of a bug fix to
regulator_force_disable(). It was incorrectly looping over
"rdev->open_count" when it should have been looping over use_count.
We have to touch that code anyway (since we should no longer loop at
all), so we'll fix it together in one patch. Also: since this comes
after commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
